[color=deepskyblue]	Marcus enjoyed his own personal room. With all the madness of kidnapping and fighting criminals in a secret basement, a room to his liking was a breath of positivity. Starting from waking up in the basement, Marcus truly did not know when his life would get better. Minute by minute passed and his situation became worse. Good to know that his forced kidnapping came with living in a mansion. 

	Marcus acknowledged there had to be bigger forces in charge of this entire project. The teenager scanned the room and became bewildered by the attention to detail. The windows let a ray of sun shine in therefore lighting the room. Black curtains stood at the ends in case of needing to block the sun exposure. Marcus glanced over to the wall and noticed a television stand. Not as big as the one in the lounge, but appropriate for personal viewing pleasure. 

	[color=cyan]"Black curtains? Because I don't like the glare of the sun..."[/color] Marcus hated watching tv or playing video games when the sun cast a glare on his screen. This happened to be a pet peeve of his. How could the people responsible for this room know this of Marcus? The teenager kept to examining the room. More and more, Marcus realized how more Mr. Russo (and whatever third party) knew who he was. 

	A desk sitting in the corner of the room immediately caught his attention. Marcus noticed a few journals and pads for creative sketching and writing. A tin full of various pens and pencils were available for use. The desk came with a shelve storing numerous spray cans. Spray painting on walls did keep Marcus in trouble yet busy most of the high school. Opening the desk drawers, he found more utensils for art. Chalk, markers, erasers, and other supplies were present. 

	On the walls of the room, different dark and bright paintings made the room look more lively. The bed's sheets were black with blue pillow casings. The room did appear to be a bit gothic and punk. A black rug placed itself adjacently to the bed. Marcus' personal room did drop in temperature; cold rooms was something he preferred. 

	Marcus laid on his bed. He did not want to examine his room fully; the injuries from the basement fight did bother him. Marcus drifted off to sleep easily but did have trouble staying asleep. He kept waking up and tossing on his new bed. The thought of not knowing if he truly was safe left him uneasy. Sleeping in a new environment? His mind raced negative scenarios. 

	Even more, nightmares spawned due to the demonic entities that he faced before. Sleep was not going to come easily. Marcus groaned when he noticed an alarm ring throughout his room. He anticipated the alarm meant it was time to save the city or something related. He grudgingly put on his uniform and headed to the lounge area. 

	Calmly, he laid his back to the floor and nodded to everyone.   [/color]

[color=gray] Mr. Russo blinked his eyes a couple of times. Through the other side of the screen, he watched the three children approach the area. It was difficult to see and hear, but the quality of the communication did get better within time. Mr. Russo sucked air through his teeth. 
	[color=orange]"I'm going to push you guys,"[/color] Mr. Russo frankly spoken. [color=orange]"Things will only get harder from here on out. But since I'm a "nice guy," I'm letting you guys off easy. You will be visiting a residential neighborhood.[/color] The tv screen blinked and presented a city map. 

	The tv screen zoomed on a layout of a block with a heavy shade of green surrounding it. Mr. Russo spoke as the area began blinking to demonstrate importance. [color=orange]"This residential neighborhood has taken a mysterious phenomenon. The kids living in the block have been disappearing without a trace. Police have no clue of their whereabouts. The only lead is that the kids are disappearing one by one. It's sure to happen again. Find out the problem and execute the solution. Hoping that one of you have a driver's license or experience handling a vehicle, you may borrow a means of transportation in the garage. Any questions?"[/color]

[color=gray] The residential neighborhood is located in a cul-de-sac. A luscious forest surrounds the houses. Most of the civilians living in the block share a backyard because of the giant forest. The neighborhood has already experienced five missing kid cases that are not shown in the photo. The fourteen houses shown are suspected to be possible targets. All fourteen houses have children living under the roof.[/color]
